My last blog entry...
Its a bitter sweet moment.
In high school, English was my least favorite class, hands down.
Therefore, the thought of taking English as a freshman in college didn't excite me at all.
Boy, did I get it wrong.
I must admit...
English 108 was my most enjoyable class this semester, and
probably the best English class I have ever taken.
English was an opportunity to get away from all the frustration that accompanied all those engineering courses I was taking. It was nice to be able to go to a class where I could relax, enjoy the company of excellent peers, and engauge in intellectual discussion. I may not have been the most talkative student, but I listened to every word.
Overall, I believe my eyes have been opened to many things I overwise would not have seen
My vocabulary and writing ability has greatly improved throughout the duration of the class.
Also, I have made some great friends, which will hopefully stay with me much longer than my time in 108. I think I was very lucky to have the oppportunity to be enrolled in this class, taught by such a student friendly instructor. All of my other professors were so impersonal, coming off as having no personality whatsoever. This was definately not the case with Jamie Hickner. She was part of the reason why class was so enjoyable, he sarcasm never ceased to crack me up during class. In the midst of all of my continued engineering courses next semester I know I will look back on 108 with fond memories

Alan, thank you for such wonderful words. It means a great deal to me to know that you enjoyed this class. And it did not escape my notice that though you may have been one of the quieter students, you were nonetheless an equal among your brilliant peers. I hope that engineering becomes more fun soon. You have a great mind, and it deserves professors who are filled with a passion for teaching!
